宽温区Yb∶YAG板条激光模块热畸变仿真研究

本文对不同冷却温度下的Yb∶YAG晶体板条激光模块高功率运转时的温度场、应力场及对应的热畸变进行了仿真分析研究。结果显示,随着冷却温度从300K降低至77K,板条的温度梯度热应力与应变都明显降低。当冷却温度为77 K时,最大主应力为414 MPa,仅为常温时的156,最大主应变为382×10-5,仅为常温时的6。为了分析Yb∶YAG晶体板条激光模块不同冷却温度下输出激光的光束质量,以确定其最佳运转温度,我们采用光线追迹的方法,对单程通过板条的1030nm探测光进行仿真。可以看到,当冷却温度为77 K时,远场光斑能量更为集中,且探测光光程差的PV值为07941μm,仅为300K时的596。模拟结果表明低温运转有利于Yb∶YAG晶体板条激光模块产生高功率高光束质量激光输出,这为高功率高光束质量Yb∶YAG晶体板条激光的设计工作奠定了基础。     

Using harmonic beam combining to generate pulse-burst in nonlinear optical laser

The ultrashort lasers working in pulse-burst mode reveal great machining performance in recent years. The number of pulses in bursts effects greatly on the removal rate and roughness. To generate a more equal amplitude of pulses in burst with linear polarization output and time gap adjustable, we propose a new method by the harmonic beam combining(HBC).The beam combining is commonly used in adding pulses into the output beam while maintaining the pulse waveform and beam quality. In the HBC, dich...
